I Want To Be Well, Sufjan Stevens

Sufjan Stevens started out as what can only be described as a Christian Elliot Smith, doing lovely Biblical folk (is that possible, you ask?!) One album, a few EPs, a Christmas CD, and a serious bout of illness later he came back with The Age of Adz. The sound throughout the album is really strange as he mixes auto-tuned vocals next to a beautifully modern juxtaposition of folk and electronica.

This song's a highlight. It's as self-indulgent as anything you've ever heard, it's definitely not for everyone. Yet it's so passionate, you realize the song writing process was a truly cathartic process as he screams the title repeatedly. It's an astounding transformation, full of excess and success.
